SWOT Analysis- IS Integration

SWOT Analysis Determining when to develop a system in-house or to purchase a COTS system is not always clear. A SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis brings the strengths and opportunities to a focus point and highlights the threats and weaknesses so an informed decision can be made. This analysis is often completed by the stakeholders, including the business analyst. Perform a SWOT analysis of buy versus build for your chosen system. You may use any Microsoft® program to create the SWOT analysis. Use your SWOT analysis to create a guide for managers at Phoenix Fine Electronics to help determine if the business should build or buy a system. Incorporate feedback from the sourcing plan you created last week. As a guideline, this type of guide should be at least 6 pages in length with written descriptions, charts, and outlines.   Your guide should do the      following:   List various steps needed to      purchase or develop a system in-house   Discuss budget      considerations   Discuss staffing      considerations   Discuss time      considerations   Identify risks   Contain a maintenance      plan   Contain at least two      references   Contain charts or      outlines   Submit your assignment.
